it's a temporary position at paragon outlets in livermore set to open november 8. it might not be her dream job, but... >> feels good just to be working again. >> reporter: while the new job numbers sound positive with the addition of 171,000 jobs, the reality is, many of those are part time. >> we have 8.3 million workers nationwide who are working involuntarily part time that is they are counted as employed as payroll jobs but they are working less than 35 hours. many only 5, 10, 15 hours. >> reporter: they are called the underemployed. people like matt who make ends meet with multiple jobs, stocking shelves at two jobs. >> it's hard. >> reporter: companies rely on part-timers to cut costs. one group went from something 70% full timers 20 years ago to
6:01 pm
now 70% part-timers. they are also using new technology that sets employee hours by tracking the ebb and flow of customer traffic. >> technology destroys jobs. >> reporter: for people like karen, part time is enough time for now. >> hoping this will be the start of the next big thing for me. >> reporter: so the jobs market is gaining momentum but many of those out there are paying less and less. meanwhile, the paragon outlet mall in livermore is in the process of hiring more than 2,000 part time and full-time workers. in livermore, elissa harrington, cbs 5. >> a new poll shows a dramatic shift in the way californians think about the death penalty. cbs 5 political reporter grace lee on how they may be ready to end capital punishment here. grace. >> reporter: records the field poll has been asking this questions for six decades typically they would vote no supporting the death penalty.
6:02 pm
right now at this time in fact cycle most people vote no if they're undecided. that's not what we're seeing in this poll. it surprised a lot of people including the field commissioner himself. >> however this initiative to replace the death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole is gaining steam. reporter: the crisscross shows that 45% of californians want to get rid of the death penalty by voting yes on proposition 34 while 38% want to keep tha maximum penalty. >> this is another case where if this should pass a big reason for its passage would be because of ethnic voters support. latinos and african-americans are more likely to be supporting the repeal of the death penalty than are whites and asian-americans. >> reporter: supporters of prop 34 want to replace the death penalty with life in prison without parole. their campaign spokesman said it can save the state $130 million every year which is why they are not surprised to see the poll turn their way.
6:03 pm
>> the truth, we are spending money on something that simply doesn't work. we have in the last 34 years sentenced 900 people to death and we have carried out 13 executions. that means 99% of the time when we said this person was going to be executed we lied. >> reporter: those who want to keep the death penalty believe that this will not save the state money, rather, it's a matter of public safety because the death penalty could deter criminals. >> talk to police officers, deputy sheriffs, those that are out on the front lines every day, they will tell you that they know that without having the possibility of the death penalty out there, you know, their lives are at stake. we don't think those numbers are ak rapt. >> reporter: whether they are accurate or not will only matter on election day but even the field poll director says it's not going to be easy for
6:04 pm
either side to get above 50%. >> the question is, will it make it above 50% by election day? i don't know. this is a really uncertainty. >> reporter: so one more note about prop 34 that it's supposed to shift state money. the savings that you get from getting rid of the death penalty process, getting rid of all those legal fees is supposed to move over to law enforcement and crime labs and the idea for that is to put more resources into solving current crimes including murders and reported rapes. so there are a lot of different issues involved with prop 34. ken? >> yeah. it looks like people maybe they're changing from years past here in california. we'll see. grace lee, thank you. well, south bay races taking a nasty turn. it's all about the wording on a campaign mailer that one of the candidates says is meant to tap into the ugly side of voters. cbs 5 reporter len ramirez on what it could mina very close race. >> reporter: i've covered san jose politics for a lot of
6:05 pm
years but have never seen city council races quite like this. it's all about pension reform and the forces for and against it. it has turned civil campaigns into bitter battles. >> fiscal responsibility is definitely needed in city hall. >> reporter: johnnie and robert bronstein both have solid reasons for getting into san jose politics. >> crime in san jose is at its highest rate in 10 years so we need to fully staff the police department. >> reporter: but in these the final days of a tight race for the city council seat in district 10, the campaign has taken a nasty turn. >> i think some of these pieces are racist and i don't know any other way to explain it. >> reporter: khamis say this is a thinly veiled attack on his palestinian heritage around a darkened image of him it says arab-american leaders mobilize their constituents, too extreme. >> arab extremists is on the news every day trying to paint me an an extremist and i think
6:06 pm
that's despicable. >> we didn't have control over that and i know johnny's feelings were hurt by that. >> reporter: the mailer didn't come from mr. bronstein but came from a firefighter's pac that supports him. >> we didn't line it and i wish it didn't come out but i don't think there was anything factually wrong in the piece. i thought that, you know, it tried to point out some economic extreme economic points that he takes. >> reporter: with the future of pension reform hanging until the balance it has been a bitter and expensive political season for several candidates running for san jose city council. an alleged sign stealing incident caught on tape has tainted the campaign in district 8. >> get away from me! >> get away from me you [ bleep ]. >> reporter: do you think a lot of that stuff is true? >> no. >> reporter: voters are flooded with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of hit pieces in their mailboxes and they are getting tired of it. >> i don't even read it. i don't. it just to me is a waste of paper, waste of a tree. >> reporter: in the district eight council race rose herrera
6:07 pm
is also the target of a hit piece targeting race. the piece points out that she not a latina. her maiden name is jesse. her married name from a previous marriage is herrera. she says that was insulting. >> thank you, len ramirez. checking bay area headlines this evening, parts of a big rig are hauled away after the overturned truck shut down interstate 680 near pleasanton. chp says a big rig driver was northbound before drifting on the shoulder and overcorrecting. his rig crashed into the center divider and then flipped over. most of the wreck spilled across all of the southbound lanes. and take a look at this. this is near the stoneridge exit on 680. all lanes are open now but it was a mess. traffic is still backed up.

6:18 pm
that information indefinitely. i don't think that's legitimate. >> reporter: allen martin, cbs 5. >> right now, san leandro keeps its scan information indefinitely but says it is looking into policies that would change that. san francisco and san jose are among more than a dozen bay area police agencies also using those scanners along with the california highway patrol. speaking of change, we have to change those clocks this weekend, huh? >> oh, yes. we are falling back. >> temperatures are going up to record high levels as soon as we are falling back. the sunset will be early. but before that sunset we'll be talking about temperatures in the 80s. mostly cloudy outside right now. clouds roll in in the afternoon. what a gorgeous sunset from the mount vaca cam. oakland warm at 67.
